So Jinta, himself, might be a bit happier and more determined these days, but it's not really in a healthy, "getting over the past" way. Am I misinterpreting this episode?
No, you're right. From my perspective, Jinta is actually coming to terms with his feelings for her. He's been denying himself of it for a long time. Now that he's coming to realization and acceptance, his next step is learning to let go.
